Slow Ride thru villages Please.... & wave if u see children... (one hand only)

 

Some Important Points

For this weekend ride

An Enjoyable Day @ Pagoh:

 

1. Respect the Serene Village life... Do not zoom thru the villages, schools...

There is also the safety of aspect as there will be emerging traffic and

pedestrians.

So Please Ride Thru Slowly... Thks

 

2. Slow down... & Drop Gears before A Bend....

Excessive speed will

cause a biker to loose control of bike.

The result will be a over run...

either to the other side of rd or

into the side...

Either way... extensive damage.

And that is if u don't hit the on coming vehicle or a rubber tree.

Believe me... it will spoil your day.

 

Some of the Corners are Hairpin Turns... eg 15kmh

 

3. Those leading the Groups...

Set a Comfortable Pace.

U should not exceed what's comfortable for the slowest bike.

The team should stay intact.

No OTOT (Own Time Own Target)

So ride together... That's a Requirement for this challenge.

 

4. Do not follow too close along country roads.

As long as the bike in front stays in visual range

That's Fine.

 

5. Take Turns to Lead.

All should have a go at leading a group.

It be good training & beneficial to our Hornet Team as a whole.

Experience riders can provide the guide to gd leadership.

 

6. When checking the Maps.

Park at a safe location where traffic can see u from a distance.

Not at a Bend.

Best off the main road.

One of the team member must be a look out at the back of the

parked bikes while the rest discuss the direction to take.

Always locate yourself away from the road.

Remember... country rd are narrow.

And vehicles takes up a lot of rd.

 

7. If u make a wrong turn.... take your time to u-turn back.

Do not ride against the traffic or make a hasty maneuver.

 

Remember!

We Enjoy our Rides & Come Home Safe!

Not using normal tap water as it can cause corrosion

Better use distilled water

Most gas stations will have distilled water - prob better to ride to one and pick up a bottle. Cheap cheap I think ....

[Spectrum]

Hear there's a Buzz in Pagoh This Saturday...

So top up... H2O, Distill or coolant... and come on Up...

....

Think Coolant best... cost more but keep your radiator

in gd condition.

Water... let it be temporary usuage....

Hi guys,

 

I'm getting a near stock condition H9 soon. Planning to 1st get either a magnetic tankbag or fix a rack for this baby..

 

Rack

options found is either H&B or GIVI. hope to get 1 that can support 3 boxes for touring needs.

- H&B can b purchase from biketech21. rack + 3 boxes ~ $1.5k. rack + 2 sides ~ $950. Not sure how much a rack only cost.. estimate maybe $400++?

- GIVI can b purchase from 219 motorshop. rack alone ~ $380.

 

Magnetic Tankbag

- most likely looking for 2nd hand bags. selling from $80 - $120. new ones costs ard $150+. impt feature must be waterproof. cuz usually bring my laptop ard.

 

Thoughts

my budget is ard $500. most likely finding a rack + box option so can keep helmets n jackets. whereas tankbag can only keep jackets.

 

Any advices for this newbie's research?

 

Thanks!

H&B 3 boxes solution with racks will cost u around $1500..

just the top rack ($220)+ 45L box ($330) will cost u $550..

 

Givi should be cheaper... but i am not sure about the cost...

can check with smokin.. he used to have the racks and boxes from givi...

 

tank bags normally comes with the condom cover..

so no issues with rain...

 

[tingchiyen]

may not be advisable to carry laptop in magnetic tankbag because of the magnets. wouldn't be nice to find your hard-disk wiped. also, the more overloaded your tankbag, the more likelihood it may detach if you're going too fast, over an uneven road, etc.

 

I carry mine around in a laptop haversack. don't have any boxes. my tankbag's just for light items like clothes, raincoat, passport, toiletries etc. for a short overnight trip.

yup, he's right about the magnetic part...

 

for me i put my raincoat as a layer between the magnet and the laptop...

[zfuyuan]

Thanks for e prompt replies.

 

i like to carry e laptop in its own haversack, but is inconvenient as most of e time i have a pillion behind..

 

thanks for the warning. i dun mind putting some buffer between the magnet n the laptop.

Thanks!

I advise caution if carrying a laptop in a tankbag - the vibration, unless u have a lot of padding, can cause probs for the laptop components and especially for the harddrive. I have blue screens and my laptop crashes and I think it's the result of carrying my laptop in my tankbag

[Smyles]

Location K

 

Your Mission is to find this Famous Kaya Roti Joint.

It is located in the Town of Segamat.

 

Tired Travellers passing thru town would always find time to

stop by this Kopi Tiam for Roti & Fresh Roasted Coffee...

And perhaps with a couple of half boiled eggs thrown in...

 

And it is part of our game plan that

your team do the same... enjoy!

 

20pts for a pic with the Kopi Tiam..

5 pts for any members enjoying the Kaya Roti of Segamat.

[tingchiyen]

um sorry ah, but possible to compile all the pagoh-trip clues onto a print-out and pass around on saturday? i really haven't been following the threads in hornetnest...

[Spectrum]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/2100spectrum/Rides/Pagoh%20Challenge%202007/PoliceStn01m.jpg

 

This is A The Blue Block of Police Quarters in Segamat.

It is in a Large Police Compound along Route 1 that runs thru

Segamat.

 

The Kaya Roti Shop u are to locate is along Jalan Awang Opposite this

Building. Good Luck.

:cheeky:

Smyles

thanks for the advise.

However coming from a IT background, i do not think vibrations can kill the harddrive unless it is powered on and spinning.

 

smokin

Thanks for the offer. PMed u liao.

Hello

Check out this link for cheap tank bags. Dunno if they deliver from the UK, but I bet they would. It'll add to the cost, mind.

 

http://www.bikebitzuk.co.uk/index.php?main...e=index&cPath=5

 

I bought an expander tank bag at xmas and it's wicked - loads of room (I've put my laptop at the top of the bag (padded out) with no worries), map pocket, zip-off rucksack and bumbag (ooh!), condom cover (!?) also supplied.

 

For $90 for a 1st hand tankbag, ain't that better than $120 for a 2nd hand...?

[Spectrum]

http://www.bikebitzuk.co.uk/images/large/OF411-tank_LRG.jpg

 

Looks Neat... fedgley

Think there's one @ 219 Lavendar St.

Brand is Givi though.. at about $90. quite similar.
